Removing Headlight

My passanger headlight got cracked so I got another off ebay to replace it. I searched and saw that I need a Torx T20 Security Bit, but can someone post some step by step instructions to get the headlight off the car? I'm a noobie moron so I just don't want to break anything.

Thanks,
Chris

you have to take off the bumper and all, just do a search in this forum you'll find it, try under clear headlights (same procedure)

first, you need to remove plastic covers on top and bottom.you just need flat screw driver
Then you need to remove two 8mm bolts goes on the bumper.they are located by the tires on each side
Then you will be able to remove the bumper
Once you remove it,you need to remove 2 10mm bolts on top and 2 10mm bolts goes on the headlight.
then you will be able to removed the headlight frame.
by the way,you don't need torx socket

you dont need a torq screw. If you take a small flat head screwdriver you can work and take the bolt out....
